Using state-of-the-art technology in nuclear medicine and ultrasound, directed ultrasound examinations were performed with attention to equivocal areas identified on hepatic isotope studies. In 100 patients studied prospectively, 100 equivocal radionuclide findings were identified. Proven diagnoses were obtained in 99 cases. Overall accuracy figures were 74% for scintigraphy and 93% for ultrasound. Scintigraphy in general showed high sensitivity, but ultrasound showed greater specificity and accuracy. It was concluded that a directed ultrasound examination is accurate and useful when the hepatic scintigraph is equivocal for any reason.
利用核医学和超声领域的先进技术，在进行超声检查时关注肝脏同位素研究中发现的可疑区域。在对100例患者进行的前瞻性研究中，发现了100个可疑的放射性核素检查结果。99例获得了确诊。闪烁扫描术的总体准确率为74%，超声检查的准确率为93%。闪烁扫描术总体显示出较高的敏感性，但超声检查显示出更高的特异性和准确性。得出的结论是，当肝脏闪烁扫描因任何原因出现可疑结果时，针对性的超声检查准确且有用。
